4 FM Ducklings, 4 FM Adults, 3 Adult MLs, 4 duckling MLs - HELP!!!!

[TriciaHowe]

I sell my duck eggs all the time. I have them listed on CL. A lot of people who are allergic to chicken eggs can eat duck eggs (so I am told). Some buy to hatch, but most are for eating

I sell them for $5/doz. I do have one family that I give eggs to because they don't have a lot of money and their son is autistic. His diet doesn't allow him to have chicken eggs (I'm not sure why) so I give them eggs when they need them. I'm certainly not going to miss 12 eggs a week and it makes me feel good to help

You could also see if your local food pantry/homeless shelter could use them as well. I know when all of my chickens and ducks are laying I feel like a get over whelmed with eggs. I boil them and feed them back to them. I also feed eggs (raw) to my dogs and they love them

Well, whatever you do, you don't want to have 1 female to 7 males if they all live together - that many guys sharing one girl would do a real number on her.

Personally, I'd keep the females - if you don't like the eggs, you can sell them. If you can't sell them, give them away. I LOVE duck eggs (especially in quiche), but when I get too many, I'll bake a big batch of something scrumptious and give it away to neighbors and friends (my neighbor has gained 10 pounds since I got my first ducks two years ago
